52 places for dementia nursing care
Brockworth House is a purpose-built two-storey nursing home specialising in dementia care, with places for up to 52 residents. The home is set in large grounds that include an enclosed patio area for residents to access safely.
Brockworth House has an Activity Coordinator who produces a calendar of activities as well as providing 1-1 sessions based on individual choices and preferences. These include music sessions, gentle exercises, poetry reading, craft sessions and visits from Pet Therapy dog. The home also has weekly music therapy sessions which greatly benefits our residents with dementia.
Funded through charitable support, every MHA care home also prides itself in being able to offer unique and memorable opportunities and activities for residents to quite literally help them 'seize the day'.
Originally opened in 1995, MHA acquired the home in November 2002. Prior to that, the home had had seven owners in less than eight years – so current staff are delighted that MHA has set such a good record for continuity. A refurbishment towards the end of 2007 created three separate units for smaller group living in a homely environment.
One relative commented that she could not imagine her husband being cared for better anywhere, or "with more love”.
